This beast is a tricky foe, but easy to defeat, and you must kill it to open the gate. If you approach it, a Wolfos will appear. When you reach the meadow, you'll see that a gate blocks your path. It will foreshadow things you'll have to deal with later in the game. For directions to the Sacred Forest Meadow where the Forest Temple is, go right, left, right, left, forward, left and right. You can't go through currently because of the boulders in the way. If your intention is revealing the first part of the map, go right and forward to reveal a small part of Goron City. Note: If you've come here immediately after getting your sword and shield, you'll certainly get lost. It is the only exit which has music playing from it. Eventually, this will lead you into the Sacred Forest Meadow. Most of these paths place you back at Kokiri Forest. Also, if you look down a path and there is a star of light, this indicates an exit from the Lost Woods. Listen for the music at each passage and follow the tune. As you stand at each possible exit, only one has music emanating from it. Kaepora Gaebora, the lighthearted owl, instructs you to follow the sound of the music. Follow your ears Look and listen carefully to select a direction.
